I'm a dork, but it's okay

As nerdy as this sounds. I love to read. I mean I really love to read. When I get into a book it's almost like I am a part of that book and I have taken some crazy journey to another world. I can sit anywhere, read, and be basically dead/immune to the outside world. I credit this partially to growing up in a noisy, large, and big family where I needed to tune out the world in order to get home work done and sometimes in order to function.

Anyway, I joined a book club and I was really excited because it combines my love of reading with my love of being social. We picked the book Eat Love Pray and I thought I would love this book. Well this book probably took me the longest to read of any book. I just finished reading this book a minute ago and I read it very much immersed at a coffee shop. I didn't notice that 3 hours had went by and I was reading. I did however have some type of crazy at peace zen feeling because the book was about finding inner peace. When liz, the main character, found her inner peace, I too felt like I was finding my inner peace. I came home and felt like meditating. I took an extremely long and "zen" like shower. I felt at peace. I wanted to do yoga. Then, I remembered I did not enjoy my last experience with yoga, but hey after reading this book I would like to try again and to meditate. Maybe reading is my mediation and gives me my zen, well anyway I don't know just felt like writing this down.
